Arizona: A Cavalcade of History....This
is Trimble's comprehensive survey of Arizona history. Used by universities
community colleges as a text this book is also sold in bookstores as a popular
reader. Trimble's easy to read, storytelling style, along with his 30 years
teaching Arizona history at the college level enables him to write with
knowledge of the subject but also keep it interesting. A critic wrote:
"Warm witty, intelligent, and always entertaining.....Marshall's homespun
wit and unassumingdemeanor often serves as a smoke screen to his incisive
talents in scholar arenas." One of his college students wrote:
"....missing one of his classes is like missing something I've bought
tickets for...." The late Senator Barry Goldwater said: "Arizona's
colorful history is alive and well with Marshall Trimble."
